After announcing Rotary Day on the UN
I share our busy weekend, another one.
On Saturday, Nov/ 11 PP Synthia joined the Rotary Foundation and Grant seminar held from 9 am to 4 pm at HK Regal at HK 570,00.
PP Florence also participated. Attending this Seminar is a requirement for our club to qualify for RF grants in 2018-2019.
Next day, Sunday, Nov/12 we have a recording to do. Myself, Sam and Amy went to make a birthday surprise for our PE. Elvo before going to the YMCA interview. I took the lead with with PE’s support.
At 20:25 Elvo, Rotaractors Rainie Ng, U Cheng, Mika Hayashi, Anna, Jessie and I gather outside TDM. Emma from the YMCA took us to the recording room next door. The interview was from 10:30 to 13:00 and in 3 groups. We introduced Rotary and our signature projects. And the Rotaractors did the same. In the end, we had the sensation of mission accomplished. 
After we go each to our own home. I rest till dinner time. We have a visit from our good fellow Rotarians from Taiwan, Queeny Huang and Benny. They bring from Taiwan our handmade cups and bowls. Again we celebrate Elvo’s birthday and have very good fellowship.
